SATURDAY’S HIGHLIGHTS
Jackie Lee covers
First artist we saw was Jackie Lee, who I totally thought was a girl going
into the festival. The lineup was mostly male, so I was excited to see a girl
on stage. However, I was pleasantly surprised because he is the definition
of an up and coming artist. He captured the entire audience who were
just arriving, and his voice was like butter. Great start to the show. He
also had great covers that got the crowd going, but I can’t remember
what they were! So, Jackie Lee, if you’re reading this, you have great
songs and covers!
Fun fact: He has beaten cancer twice!
Lanco’s guitarist
Lanco is a band that seems like a household name now. If you don’t know
them, you have heard “Greatest Love Story.” The funny thing about this
band is all the band members looked like they were all friends on a
baseball team growing up, but their guitarist (Eric Steedly) just stood out.
How do I explain this… well he was HOT. Long hair, tank top with muscles,
so many guitar solos. Everyone around me kept talking about him,
probably because he didn’t fit in with the band members at all based on
looks, but he was entertaining to watch!
Billy: sweaty
I don’t remember how sweaty Billy Currington was, but he must’ve been
drenched if I made a note about it. He was fun!
Dierks: homeless
No shade to him at all, but
he looked homeless! My
cousin and I were talking
about him, if we saw him
outside of the concert, we
would have no idea he is a
country superstar. He had a
long raggedy beard, but
somehow it worked for him.
As we were leaving his set,
Navy Pier had a firework
show, so it was perfect.
